Yesterday I was having a bit of a pity party. I didn’t post the entry, but made cookies instead. Joshua helped. We now have lots of cookies. Cookies always heal what ails you!
Gramma F’s Molasses Cookies
3/4 Cup Shortening
1/4 Cup Molasses
1 Egg
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 Teas. Baking Soda
1 Teas. Ground Ginger
1/2 Teas. Salt
1 Teas. Cinnamon
Mix shortening, egg, molasses together in one bowl. In a separate bowl mix together flour, soda, ginger, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Mix dry ingredients with shortening, etc. Roll dough into one inch balls. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet for 10 to 15 min. at 375 degrees. Cookies can be rolled in sugar before being baked.
The first batch took almost 12 minutes and the subsequent batches took about 10 minutes each batch. Made 5/6 dozen.
Also, I doubled the recipe! You cannot eat just one and I am having company this weekend. They will not last. Enjoy!
Update: I took some of them and sandwiched vanilla ice cream between them and put them in the freezer. Those didn't last long. Yum!
